Do you remember days of the week by the TV shows that are on?

This might seem silly, but it is something that some people actually do.
There was a time, that you would know the day of the week and from that you would remember what show you wanted to watch.
But these days since I was out of work, which is when you know the weekdays, I actually kept track of the days of the week depending on which TV shows were on.
For example, if it was comedy day, then it was Monday, if Prison break is on, then it's Tuesday, if Grey's Anatomy is on, then it's Wednesday, if there's nothing good on, then it's thursday, and that means I'll go out, Friday is easy, since it's family day, and that is obvious, and if there is no Seinfeld then it's either a Saturday or a Sunday. Now of course, this is just according to one channel.
This actually sounds painfully pathetic, doesn't it, ha ha?
But I'm sure it's not that unusual is it?
I mean, if you're not at school or at work then it's hard to keep track of the days of the week, and don't even get me started on the dates, ha ha. Thank God for mobile reminders that I even know if there is a birthday or not, ha ha.
Has this ever happened to you?
How do you keep track of your days of the week?

I keep track of days of the week by work unfortunately. "Do I have to go to work tomorrow...ugh yes" after having days off means its sunday. "What do i have to do today ugh 3days worth" means it's monday. "Ugh today is so boring" means it's tuesday".. "Disks.." wednesday... "Bkweek and cif and other crap" means it's thursday "No tech support" means friday.
That makes no sense to you but all the sense in the world to me.

ha ha. Well I just meant that you might not know what disks stands for. or what BKweek or CIF stands for. and you certainly don't understand what "no Tech Supp" means. As in.. you wouldn't understand what I mean by why i have 3days worth one day and what makes boring days another. Etc.

Ha ha, I see someone similar to me, but you got your days wrong, I guess, it must have been a saturday when you wrote this, maybe you watched a re run of heroes, he he. For me, the day after tomorrow will be RAW and there's no Simpsons today, so it must be Sunday, he he.

LOL interesting you post this discussion, me and hubby were talking about that just yesterday. WE have come to know the days by today is NCIS, or today is House or Prision break.. not monday or tuesday etc hehehe This is even more interesting because I'm not even much of a TV watcher - I think I basically see one special show almost everyday of the week, but my time in front of the TV is actually short. Now hubby is another story he really likes to sit down and watch TV for hours :)

No, I don't:P I always think about the day first and then my mind shows me what series can I watch. I think it would be too complicated for me to think "Hmmm... today we have Heroes so it must be Tuesday" because I usually have so many things to do that day than watching tv (unfortunately T-T).

You really have a point there, but I am particular with the dates because I have my own business. I have to be particular with the dates because it is a waste of time to everyday ask others the date today.

I seldom watch TV but if I am really into something (rarely), I would definitely remember the days and I wouldn't even want to go out because I need to finish the TV show. Like I am really into America Next Top Model, and it's only on here on Sunday night. I would reserve my time for that. I don't watch that much TV anyway *laughs*.

I am with Lexus here, in doing just the opposite. Instead of telling time by the television, sometimes looking at the day and time reminds me there is something worth watching. But since my PDA rules my life, so to speak, every time I shop it tells me what day it is (I make any entry of what I bought and where and when and how much it cost) and then I might say, "Oh, yes, tonight we are going to watch Viva Laughlin" -- except that one doesn't start to air for a few more weeks.
If I don't go shopping that day, no matter, there is always TIVO.

Yes I also know wehn my favorutie show are on.But if I don't see them it is ok, it doesn't really bothers me or if somebody would invite me that day go out I would.Now there is internet and some of the show you can watch when you want and not when you have to.

I don't really keep track of the days of the week very well lol. I used to be able to tell the days from the programmes but nowadays so many channels repeat programmes that it is not easy to know which day it is from them, and it is really annoying sometimes because an episode is out of sequence and that really messes me up!
If I really have to be somewhere I write myself a huge note and stick it to my front door so that I can not forget but otherwise I meander quite pleasantly through the days.
However, I have often been told I look much younger than I should look at my age, so maybe not taking any notice of the passing days fools my brain into thinking I am still young lol.

We no longer get the newspaper, so apart from the computer and the Tv, we are unsure of what day it is. It does get confusing when the Tv shows change their lineups.
Then not only do we not know the day, but we are unsure about the time of day. I hate what would happen to those people who get satellite Tvs and they cannot tell what time it is because the show comes on seven in one time zone, eight in another, and nine in another, with half an hour in Newfoundland.
Now that the new season is coming on, and there are some new shows, I will have to keep track of them to know what day and time it is.

Hi vega88! haha..you are right about that. You see I stay home most of the time and sometimes I forgot what day it is already. Sometimes, I get help from the tv programs but other times I call my aunt what day it is. She usually laughs at me and tells me to get out once in awhile. Well, of course I do when I go to the bank, do my groceries, pay bills and when I go to malls or craft stores for my supplies. Once, I felt so silly going to the bank, and it was a holiday. I really got so irritated with myself because I should have turned on the tv first or called my aunt to be just sure on what day it is. But right now, I have my desk calendar which I crossed out the days so as not to be so kinda silly when it comes to tracking dates. LOL! Take care and have a nice day!

I totally get it, when you're at home, and especially if you're a home maker, then the weekdays and weekends sort of merge, because unlike in jobs, you don't really get a day off from housework, right? Well, in this case, we all have to come up with our own ways to remember, I like your TV and aunt ways, but the calendar... what if you forget to cross out a day on some day, then you'll be one day behind for all days, he he.

Totally! I have the same way of telling the days of the week, except with different shows, like if america's next top model's on, then it's wednesday. Lol :]

I do both...sometimes I will think about the day and then about what is on TV, but other days I will be watching TV and will think...hey, it must be Thursday. I'm a house wife and a mother of two, so aside from cleaning the house, taking care of the kids and hubby...tv is the thrill of my life.
